Foot Injury - need workout recs!

[rachelh]

Can anyone recommend a good home workout for someone with a foot injury? I have been running and doing the 30 day shred but I hurt my foot- not even sure how – and now have pain on the sole/ball of my foot. I spoke with a PT friend who advised me to ice it, do some stretches, and said that it can be a few weeks before I can start running again. The 30 day shred is also out because of all the jumping. Does anyone have any exercise (dvds) to recommend?

TY!

Can you do weight training? Are squats out?

I think squats might be too weight bearing on my feet.

I assume you don't want to have to head to a pool, but aquatics would probably be a better option (clear with your PT for your diagnosis). Swimming, pool exercise (deep water running and other exercises), etc. don't involve a lot of weight bearing. Obviously I don't know what injury you are dealing with, so clear with your care provider or PT friend.
